Simon Cowell looked strikingly different when he walked the red carpet at the official launch of Britain’s Got Talent at the London Palladium on Friday.

She wore a pair of round RayBan sunglasses as she paused for photos and continued to show off her lean physique after embracing a healthier lifestyle.

To keep out the cold, Simon, 63, wore two skintight blue T-shirts over his signature high-waisted black pants.

And she added some height to her body with elegant slightly heeled shoes.

She was in good company the day she arrived at the iconic London venue, three days after ITV began filming the auditions there.

Simon was joined by new judge Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden and Alesha DIxon.

Alesha looked amazing in a perfectly fitting black leather biker dress, as well as a matching pair of thigh-high boots.

And Amanda was wearing the same blue suit jacket she wore on Tuesday for continuity purposes, as well as a pair of black platform heels.

Hosts Ant and Dec were also seen making a playful arrival on the red carpet.

My God!  Of late, Simon has raised concerns about his radically different facial features, looking unrecognizable in particular in a promo for Britain's Got Talent.

Meanwhile, the new judge is believed to have joked that he was ‘reprimanded’ during his first day of filming for the Britain’s Got Talent auditions on Tuesday.

The 67-year-old had an eventful first day at the London Palladium after taking up his new job when he pressed the golden buzzer too early for an act.

And Bruno reportedly addressed the audience to joke that he’d already been “scolded” while enthusiastically saying how much he enjoyed being a judge.

Joining him on panel with Simon and Amanda, Alesha reportedly had to control Bruno when he got too emotional during auditions.

According to The Sun, Bruno told the audience: “I’ve had a lot of fun, I’ve already been told off.” I’m lovin ‘it!’

It was claimed that Bruno had to be knuckle-knucked after he was unable to help himself from standing up during filming, with 44-year-old Alesha allegedly telling him to sit down.

Red carpet rocker!  Alesha Dixon made sure all eyes were on her as she donned a leather biker dress and thigh-high boots to the Britain's Got Talent auditions at the London Palladium on Friday.

Bruno seemed to be just as excited after filming on Wednesday when he flashed a big smile as he left the London Palladium after the second day of auditions.

During the first day of filming, Bruno created some trouble when he hit the golden buzzer too early, warm-up act Adam Khan reported.

They said that Bruno had pressed the golden buzzer too soon to prevent Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon from defeating him, so he had pressed it during the act.

Here come the boys: new judge Bruno Tonioli and stalwart Simon Cowell seemed in high spirits when they hit the red carpet.

As a result, the moment had to be recorded again so that the cameras could be set up correctly.

Adam tweeted: ‘So… Just witnessed the #BGT story! An act ensued…it was pretty clear that both Alesha and Simon wanted to push the #GoldenBuzzer…

‘So Bruno went ahead of them and pushed *during the act*! They were performing with confetti falling on them and the BGT theme playing in the back!’

“Now we have to re-record the #GoldenBuzzer moment because there were no cameras positioned correctly as no one expected it to happen during the act.”
